1 The Third Day of Transmigration

"Yaoyao, how many days has the husband you bought been sick? Why hasn't he recovered yet? If this is what we got, I think even three taels of silver is too expensive!"

He's weak like a small girl. What can we do with him?"

Mrs. Bai, who was over thirty years old and still looked as delicate as an unmarried girl, complained in a bad mood.

Hearing this, Bai Jinyao, who was decocting the medicine, smiled helplessly.

"Mother, did you forget? I'm already eighteen years old this year. If I still don't get married, the government will come to us and claim this year's single tax!

Buying a live-in son-in-law with three taels of silver is better than paying the single tax of ten taels! Am I right?"

Mrs. Bai sighed. "Well, I guess so. Never mind."

"Mother, the medicine is done. I'll go in now."

Bai Jinyao took the bowl of medicine and left after informing her mother.

The air in the room was filled with the smell of medicine, and the words "Just Married" were pasted on the window and door.

A handsome man was lying on a bed with a red curtain. His face was flushed and his eyes were closed.

Bai Jinyao saw that the man was sweating due to the fever, and his white inner clothes were soaked with sweat. She lifted his quilt and wanted to untie his belt to change him into a new set of clothes.

But just as her hand touched the belt, a big wet and hot hand grabbed her wrist!

The force was so great that it seemed as if he wanted to crush her wrist!

Bai Jinyao raised her eyes and met Luo Xichu's red and cold eyes.

Even though today was the third day that Bai Jinyao had transmigrated into the novel, and even though she had already committed the plot of the original novel and the system's mission to memory...

But at this moment, when she practically looked into Luo Xichu's eyes and recalled the ending of the female lead in the original book, Bai Jinyao couldn't help but feel terrified of Luo Xichu.

"What do you want to do?"

Luo Xichu's voice was hoarse and nasal, but Bai Jinyao could hear that he had squeezed those words out through his teeth!

Bai Jinyao calmed herself down.

Then she said, "I saw that your clothes were wet with sweat and wanted to change your clothes. I have also brought you the medicine. Since you are awake, I suppose you can take the medicine and change your clothes."

After Bai Jinyao finished speaking, she tried to break her wrist out of Luo Xichu's firm grip.

Luo Xichu had a fever for a few days, so his strength could not be compared to Bai Jinyao, who had been selling pork for several years and cutting meat with a knife all day long.

Bai Jinyao broke free easily.

She rubbed her wrist and found some clothes for Luo Xichu to change into. She then placed the bowl of medicine on the small table by the bed.

"I'm going out. You can change your clothes and drink the medicine. Don't worry, the medicine is not poisonous."

Bai Jinyao opened the door and went out.

After she closed the door, Bai Jinyao finally heaved a sigh of relief. She wiped her forehead and realized that she was breaking out in cold sweat!

Today was the third day that she had transmigrated into a female-themed novel that she had once read.

The female lead in the story was also called Bai Jinyao. When she was 18 years old, she found the unconscious male lead on the mountain.

Because she couldn't afford to pay the single tax, she had no choice but to carry the male lead home, intending to make him her live-in husband.

After that, she constantly gave the man a hard time by scolding and hitting him because he had a fever and tried to run away, which antagonized him.

It was all until she found he was the crown prince.

After the male lead escaped and became the Emperor, the first thing he did was vent his anger on the female lead.

On the day she transmigrated here, the feverish male lead had already been beaten and scolded by the original female lead, and had been locked in the bridal chamber for two days!
